Clean Food

a Seasonal Guide to Eating Close to the Source, With More Than 200 Recipes for a Healthy and Sustainable You
Apr 18, 2014VegLibrarian rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
This beautiful book will change the way you think about cooking and eating. Arranged by seasons, you will become aware of how seasonal, whole food eating is the most delicious and healthy. You shouldn't eat strawberries in August nor tomatoes in December! With an emphasis on whole grains such as quinoa and varied foods from mushrooms to sea vegetables, the recipes are neither time-consuming nor complicated. Most things will not come from a jar and your body will be better for it! The simple but beautiful photography adds to the appeal. I own the updated version, which contains a few new recipes but is basically the same. I disagree with previous comments that nutrition information should be provided. We live in an age where vitamins and minerals are counted like gold, but the big picture of how these things beautifully integrate on their own, without our needing to be scientists, is ignored. If you eat these kinds of whole foods (yes, veagn!), stop before you are completely stuffed full, eat a moderate amount of healthy fats, and regularly exercise, you don't need to count calories. Your body will find its natural balance. Mother Nature knows best! I counted calories and obsessed for years, but I didn't gain a pound after I stopped worrying - just by eating and taking care of myself this way.
